Autodesk Inventor 2014 Service Pack 2 Installation and Deployment Guide

Installing Autodesk Inventor 2014 Service Pack 2 requires careful planning to ensure a smooth process. Before proceeding, make sure you have previously installed Autodesk Inventor 2014 Service Pack 1 without the Autodesk 2014 Subscription Advantage Pack installed.

To start the installation, disable the User Account Control feature on Windows Vista and Windows 7 installations. Additionally, verify that you have administrator privileges on your local machine to install either Autodesk Inventor 2014 Service Pack 2 or Autodesk Inventor 2014 Subscription Advantage Pack Service Pack 2.

Begin by navigating to the text box and entering 'Explorer,' then clicking OK. Next, access the main menu and click File > New Task (Run). Alternatively, press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to start the Task Manager manually using the keyboard.

If you encounter issues during installation or uninstallation, occasionally the Explorer.exe process may not automatically restart on Windows 7, causing the desktop icons, Start button, and other features to disappear. In such cases, reconnect to the deployment image server to continue the uninstallation process.

When installing from a deployment, ensure that Inventor is installed correctly before attempting to uninstall Service Pack 2. If the installer hangs during uninstallation, connect to your Autodesk Inventor 2014 Service Pack 2 installations for further assistance.

The release of Autodesk Vault 2014 Update 2 requires users running Vault and Remote Content to update on the server separately from the Subscription Advantage Pack. It is essential to merge all service packs simultaneously when configuring Inventor at one time.

To merge Service Pack 2 with a deployment image, create a new deployment image afresh and merge all service packs together. For more information on Network Deployments, refer to the Network Administrators Guide.

When updating a deployment image, ensure that you use the same bit-type machine as the existing installation. This is the suggested behavior for all service pack releases.

For deployed installations, it is recommended to append the Service Pack to your existing deployment image rather than merging it. In some cases, reloading the Vault add-in may be necessary after installing this Service Pack.

When choosing between the bit-type versions of Autodesk Inventor 2014 Subscription Advantage Pack Service Pack 2 and Autodesk Inventor 2014 Service Pack 1, ensure you select the correct version that corresponds to your installation of Autodesk Inventor 2014 Service Pack 1. Install only the bit-type version of Autodesk Inventor 2014 Service Pack 2 that corresponds to your existing installation.

By following these guidelines, you can successfully install and deploy Autodesk Inventor 2014 Service Pack 2, ensuring a smooth transition for all users.
